What we expect from you

You are a Registered Nurse with the COPD Diploma or other respiratory qualification. You care about clinical excellence. You believe in the importance of the right things, done well. And you will thrive in a dynamic, fast paced environment.

About the role

The impact you will have on patients lives will go far beyond care - giving them independence, choice and privacy. You will get to know them, and their families, enabling you to follow personal care plans that really are as unique as every individual.

You will be responsible for leading specialist COPD clinics including oxygen assessment and pulmonary rehabilitation programmes, assessing and managing patients in the community setting with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Within the role you will maintain patients in their home environment by implementing self management systems to reduce the number of avoidable admissions and improve patient quality of life.
